Padman – More than just a film. It’s a beauty with brains

“Hum auraton ke liye bimaari se marna, sharam se marne se achha hai”,breaking this kinda menstrual taboo Akshay Kumar starrer Padman turns out ot be a real Superhero. In a country where talking about a female’s “that time of the month” is looked down upon, Padman on a primary level is about getting people to know that it is okay to talk about a hormonal cycle.

In a country where only 12% women use sanitary pads during their periods, Padman tries and educates its audience about the need and necessity of these common items. In a country like India, a step towards breaking this kinda menstrual taboo was needed anytime soon.

Akshay Kumar has done total justice to his role. Dealing with such a sensitive issue couldn’t have been done by anyone than him. After Toilet, this movie categorizes him as a social messenger. Keeping apart the brilliance of this man, Radhika Apte also turned out to be a true supporter. The first half revolves around her as a dutiful wife and the second half circles around Pari (Sonam Kapoor) who is the backbone of Lakshmikant’s journey as Padman when he is outcasted by his village.

The subtlety, the transparency of thoughts and honesty of this film is winning every heart.
